4. I think that some of it
is interesting, and some is not. I took a small part in a recent conversation on the JFK assassination. I do not believe that anyone has -- or can -- make a serious argument that Oswald shot Kennedy. I believe that it is a serious issue to discuss to understand modern American history. Likewise, the case of Martin Luther King, Jr fits that description. King's family knows the truth about what happened in Memphis, making it hard to call this a paranoid conspiracy case. It is also important to understand the country we live in.

I've said a number of times that I do not believe in LIHOP or MIHOP. But I am interested in what the majority of DUers who do believe these theories have to say. When I see the mainstream media pull out a Mr. Posner to "answer" questions, I find it troubling, because he is a tool that is used to lie about JFK and MLK.

At the same time, that does not mean everything posted is realistic. A few things are simply the flip-side of those on the right who believe that the trafic signs on our highways have coded messages on the back to help UN troops invade at some future time. People with paranoid personalities tend to see that which is not real. Further, as we have seen, there are people who pretend they are COINTELPRO-experienced lawyers who purposely plant misinformation to discredit serious discussions.
